Car Accident Brain Injury
Atlanta Car Accident Injury Lawyers
Traumatic brain injuries are an especially severe consequence of car accidents. Caused by sudden trauma to the head, car accident brain injuries cause a disruption in normal brain function. These disruptions can have wide-ranging effects on patients that can range from cognitive and emotional to physical and movement-based complications.

TBI Causes in Car Accidents
A traumatic brain injury can occur in a car accident due to the blunt force trauma of a moving object in the car colliding with the victim’s skull, but this is not the only way. For instance, if a victim is thrown from the vehicle, a brain injury could occur. Yet, even the sudden deceleration or acceleration that can happen in a car accident could cause the brain to collide with the inside of the skull, requiring no contact with the victim’s head. This is one of the many reasons it is pertinent that car accident victims get a thorough medical evaluation before accepting a settlement from the insurance company.
Traumatic Brain Injury Effects
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are generally considered difficult to diagnose. This is due to the fact that they are not readily visible and their symptoms may not manifest until days after the incident that caused them. Among the symptoms that are common even to mild TBI are:
- Headaches
- Difficulty concentrating or thinking
- Problems with memory
- Mood swings
In addition to physical symptoms, a car accident brain injury can also lead to a number of disorders that can be permanent and serious, including:
- Midline shift syndrome, which involves difficulty walking straight, trouble balancing, posture issues, and improper weight destruction.
- Behavioral problems that may include childish behavior, severe aggression, or non-compliance
- Personality changes such as impulsiveness, lack of self-control, anxiety, paranoia, depression, inappropriate sexual behavior, or sudden alcohol or drug abuse
- Sensory issues, such as with vision and comprehension, ringing in the ears, hand-eye coordination, or itching or tingling skin
- Language problems in speaking or reading
- Epilepsy or seizures
